Recap by phillip woo
In a thrilling blanket finish, Comet Radiance timed things perfectly with one wider out to pip Always My Folks by a nose for a maiden win at his 11th start. He appreciated both a downgrade and switch to the Valley. Always My Folks did everything right but get the win after surging to the lead near the wire after a one-off trip travelling just off midfield. It was a better effort from an ideal draw third up over his favourite Valley 1,000m. Iconical drove at them late near the inside to finish a nail-biting third after making his run on the fence in midfield. He has placed third both times over the Valley 1,000m from three starts this term. Early favourite Loving Vibes ran on well to make it close on the wire settling fifth and one off the fence. He's in the right grade but is better suited over 1,200m. Smashed to jump favourite, Mapogo succumbed late after being hustled to lead from gate eight. He should get away with a race shortly in this grade. Solar River was doing his best work late for sixth after making his run third last from gate 11. Joy Star gradually faded after a prominent run on the fence.
